[knotty crown]

Btw Brit I've decided on the name for my nation/neighborhood

[magic mist]

potentially your mother's maiden name and your fav high school teacher as well

[remote latch]

or will the channel go mysteriously quiet because everyone here got into the alpha rofl

[solid marsh]

Goooooblins

[hidden lynx]

We have already discussed this you can just have your own area and ill have my Queendom!

[knotty crown]

(The) Goblin Underground

[tough orchid]

Palia discord makes Monday's SO MUCH BETTER 😭

[hidden lynx]

ooooh what is it???

[lone crane]

Best I can do is my social security number, my credit card and the digits on the back.

[hidden lynx]

AHHHH I love it! 😄 I need to type up the mission statement for mine I should do that while I am at my PC

[rose cedar]

Going to name my neighborhood Mr.Rogers

[hidden lynx]

You guys wanna help me? specifically our word wizard @cinder temple

[cinder temple]

Honestly, I just envision a board of directors in a hot room in the middle of the week listening to a game company selling them the weekend in game form.

[hasty crescent]

I can't do my social security number because when they sent it to us my letterbox was broken and it was mulch... Y'know, cause british, and rain?

[distant oar]

Ye! New title is Community Director, but also cover Community Manager stuff.

[knotty crown]

You think I'm joking but Nexon and Ankama ask for stuff like this for account recovery, as do other companies, even though you've never given them that info before so there's nothing for them to compare it to.

[umbral kernel]

So you're gonna be directing the community instead of managing us. Well, at least we'll have the illusion of free will.

[solid marsh]

Congrats!! 🥳

[carmine relic]

Aye, hooray!

[hasty crescent]

Google translate, fantasynamegenerator.com, nameberry.com, mythology (we love it), a therasus and maybe what I always do, look at people's usernames in the comment section of whatever song you're listening to on youtube

[knotty crown]

CMs handle in-game moderators, right? Will you handle them or someone else, Nel?

[hasty crescent]

thats how I name things

[lilac portal]

Did you get one of those neat directors chairs?

[tough orchid]

RIGHT?! Hears that it's a community sim mmo "why are you people still in this board room? dont you have a game to MAKE?" HAHA

[solid marsh]

Oh, is palia gonna be a game you have to buy to play?

[hasty crescent]

MMOs are actually quite hard games to convince funders for, since they're risky

[knotty crown]

You mean The Weeknd in game form xD

[distant oar]

I'm still working on creating the policies and processes for Customer Service, so can't share what exactly they'll ask to confirm account ownership because I haven't determined it yet (though we'll definitely not want SS). The idea for asking for IRL info is always just to confirm account ownership and ensure account measures are being taken at the request of the real owner, not someone else.

[knotty crown]

I hope so.

[gritty veldt]

we don’t know, they’re not ready to discuss monetization

[solid marsh]

I mean I'd totally pay for it

[hidden lynx]

Oh Faulty we decided on the name of mine! I want to reword the message so its more clear and concise of the goals of the Queendom so when people say hey Queen B whats yours all about I (or anyone here) can copy pasta the same mission statement!

[cinder comet]

That makes sense! I would love to get into the gaming industry (I was in it on a volunteer basis years ago), however I run into the issue where I have so much epxerience in my current industry that switching makes it very hard! I appreciate that bit of advice.

Also, that was delayed. Sorry. Actually at work! Hha.

[lone crane]

It's called PAY-LIA. YEAH YOURE PAYING.

[carmine relic]

Do we know what the monetization is yet?

[knotty crown]

I greatly dislike this, because it makes no sense. You can't use someone's ID to prove who they are if they never gave you their personal information before.

[cinder temple]

I assume there'll be money involved somewhere at some point in some form so Nel can afford her toast. Or whatever it is that Nels eat.

[solid marsh]

LOL

[hasty crescent]

ah ok, but like if you ever need to name something in future, thats my advice lmao (maybe name like a statue or bench that way, whatever suits you)

[gritty veldt]

gambit ;-; u know how i feel about the monetization talks right ??? right???????

[umbral kernel]

Having an initial buy-to-play model can help in establishing a solid community early on. Free-to-play titles have a high likelihood of developing toxic communities due to the sheer volume of players adding to the chaos (toxicity is pretty contagious).

[hasty crescent]

I like to think Nels eat icecream

[knotty crown]

This is why I prefer things like secondary and tertiary passwords, etc.

[patent dust]

congrats Nel!!

[hidden lynx]

they haven't answered how but yes - its in FAQ and in the google doc pinned here 🙂

[tough orchid]

They're not asking for your ID? It'll probably be based on a email-authentication option

[hidden lynx]

ALSO YEAH Can we get some hype for Nel and her cool new title and all the cool stuff she does??? 😄

[hasty crescent]

toxicity can be quite easily crushed if people are just not toxic from the beginning

FFXIV for example

[carmine relic]

Yes, and that's why I asked anyway

[distant oar]

Mind you, I was explaining why other studios ask for ID. Not confirming what we're doing because I haven't drafted those policies just yet.

[lone crane]

Only if it makes Nel slip some details about the game.

[hidden lynx]

it came up yesterday and everyone was like we would sell our souls... so i think you can ask for those xD

[distant oar]

SIR, MY BOSS IS AWAKE NOW. HE CAN READ THIS.

[hasty crescent]

Guys I really need to know the hexcodes of all the blades of grass

[lone crane]

LMAO

[gritty veldt]

i’m preemptively asking you to not discuss server set up either

[umbral kernel]

Kinda the point, though. Free-to-play from the start tends to invite toxicity early on. A buy-to-play initial release, even if for a short while, helps establish that initial defense community.

[magic mist]

He won't.. we promise

[lone crane]

Bro we will play charades...

[carmine relic]

You implied putting a glitter bucket over my door, so you had this coming

[patent dust]

just blindfold him ez

[hasty crescent]

or remove him from the discord server

[arctic onyx]

this chat can drown out any message sent in here

[patent dust]

yup

[solid marsh]

Eat him, problem solved

[knotty crown]

If I was ur boss, I'd just search Discord for "from: " with all my devs to make sure.

[hidden lynx]

hey Panda!

[gritty veldt]

you were gonna give me 2 fish in exchange so you didn’t give me a choice really

[lone crane]

A crumb, like what's Tamala's favorite food or something

[magic mist]

figures out where he hid his handcuffs..

[hasty crescent]

paranoid much

[distant oar]

Nothing suspicious here.

[hasty crescent]

although yeah thats the common sense

[patent dust]

lmao

[hidden lynx]

I am sure early on Busco said to much

[arctic onyx]

sheesh

[solid marsh]

LOL

[hasty crescent]

LMAO

[carmine relic]

Bed fish isn't as big a crime as glitter traps!

[solid marsh]

Time to eat the boss

[knotty crown]

kinky

[hasty crescent]

or trap the boss into a virtual simulation of palia

[lone crane]

Bro we boycott if the boss gets you in trouble!!! THE CUSTOMER IS RIGHT

[hasty crescent]

he won;t wanna leave

[magic mist]

she started it (points at Panda)

[distant oar]

Okay, well first of all I think he'd enjoy the extra play time. But also, he's really nice!

[knotty crown]

I'm conflicted on this.

[cinder temple]

Does this mean he sleeps? I've been worried about him since the stream!

[arctic onyx]

developers sleep?

[gritty veldt]

you’re basically threatening me with a reward for punking you!!! of course i’m gonna follow through i want the fish. also if there is a wizard hat i will give you one to protect from the glitter

[carmine relic]

Conflicted how?

[solid marsh]

Haha

[knotty crown]

Pastel, YOU started this?

What a good little goblin! ^-^

[hasty crescent]

Thats why I suggested it. lmao

[patent dust]

ive worked with customers long enough to know that the customer is not always right

[carmine relic]

Ok, that's a fair exchange

[rose cedar]

they quick charge their batteries

[knotty crown]

The customer is always right, but sometimes their thoughts, words, and actions aren't.

[solid marsh]

Yup

[little silo]

No.

[remote latch]

That would be a bit difficult for non Americans as we don't have SS numbers 😛

[lone crane]

Bro, the customer is never right. But in this case today, we are LMAO. I hate working retail I feel you man

[gritty veldt]

i’m glad we’ve come to an agreement 🤝

[rose cedar]

the customer is rarely right.

[arctic onyx]

i thought they simply swapped out their AA batteries

[carmine relic]

Anything for wizard hat

[patent dust]

working tickets is fun cause then the customer can yell at you slowly over time for something you have no control over

[tough orchid]

Any juicy new concept art in the pipeline?

[hasty crescent]

quite literally the definition of being wrong

[distant oar]

I know Brazil has an equivalent of that! It's called something else, but I forgot what.

[hasty crescent]

I love being yelled at for things I can't control its great

[knotty crown]

Well, the customer's money is always right. Long live consumerism!

[magic mist]

there is a cool name for it in Canada its a SIN

[hasty crescent]

not if its an adoption shelter

[solid marsh]

I have id numbers in my country

[hidden lynx]

Passports or ID of some form >.> I have always had to send in my drivers license/ state id or equivalent

[hasty crescent]

Lmao in the UK it's NIN

[lone crane]

I like it when the customers don't read the big signs that say you can't do this, and then they proceed to do it anyways and yell at you when things don't work cause the sign says they aren't working.

[tough orchid]

As long as i get my Picanha I'm good LOL

[rose cedar]

I have id numbers for 2 countries. lol

[gritty veldt]

“this sign can’t stop me bc i cant read”

[lone crane]

Basically.

[hasty crescent]

guys literally no game I've ever played wants your ID or NIN or SS or whatever

[knotty crown]

SS is different from ID number. In US, we do have ID numbers on our Driver's Licenses and such.

[magic mist]

Nine Inch Nails... - nice!

[surreal gust]

Polish people have PESEL 😅

[hasty crescent]

nice

[patent dust]

i think a good way to indentify the account owner is a set PIN number alongside security questions

[knotty crown]

Not played many games then. Again, Ankama and Nexon both ask for it.

[cinder temple]

Working with customers, this was one of my most/least favorite things, especially if the sign was a picture or something very simple like 'chip reader broken, please swipe card'. You'd just sort of stand there, smiling gently, and let them get it out of their system or figure it out before gently correcting them.

[knotty crown]

This, plus like 1-2 more extra pins or passwords xD

[tough orchid]

security questions work well too, lord knows how many time's i've recovered my RS account through those questions

[hasty crescent]

Ankama literally does not accept social security numbers

[knotty crown]

There's also 2FA

[magic mist]

we just send expiring PIN to registered email

[patent dust]

2fa codes yes!

[knotty crown]

Ankama asks for pictures of your DL

[rose cedar]

to play on a CN server you have to have a CN number. it depends on a countries laws.

[hidden lynx]

okay okay okay but wait @cinder temple do you wanna help me with rewording how we talk about the Queendom >.> cause you're the word wizard around here

[knotty crown]

Mabinogi has a secondary password aka pin for logging in inside the game itself too

[lone crane]

I sat on my ass for five hours at work, time to go home YOOOOOO

[knotty crown]

And RS has the bank pin

[summer obsidian]

Hey Palia Fam! Work is actually making me work today, this if the first chance I've had all day to pop into discord to see everyone ❤️

[patent dust]

the issue is not everyone can do 2fa, cause phones and whatnot. plus doing 2fa after you change phones is such a pain in some cases T.T

[knotty crown]

I remember the origin of that meme q.q

[cinder temple]

I harbor the firm belief that there are at least 16 better, shyer word smiths hiding in the lurker list, but sure. What can I help with?

[hidden lynx]

hi hi friend have a great one ❤️

[surreal gust]

Mate, I’v started it like 13 hours ago - haven’t end it yet lmao

[knotty crown]

Depends on the options. Some 2FA can be on the same computer.

[wispy pelican]

another day without alpha/beta testing...
PepoSad

[hasty crescent]

I fear the reality of losing my phone number

[distant oar]

heya! Hope you have a great day at work ^^

[lone crane]

What server you on anyways?

[arctic onyx]

i crave some spicy chicken nuggets

[night kraken]

Exactly! I've only ever had bad experience with 2fa apps and the like

[lone crane]

You been recruiting mabi friends to play Palia???

[hasty crescent]

speaking of work I should check my email see if I've been rejected yet

[knotty crown]

Um I think I had accounts on 2 or 3 of em? I haven't played in forever.

[worldly lily]

Hey all late lunch break but decided to pop in see how everyone is

[summer obsidian]

Thanks! I'm already connected to your Spotify...so now I know it's going to be a good afternoon 😛

[lone crane]

Oh so it's just me trying to convince my mabi friends to convert to Palia?

[patent dust]

i want to change my phone number cause i get so many spam text constantly, but theres SO many things tied to that number for security that changing it would cause a ton of issues

[distant oar]

lol, I dunno what I hit play on this morning. So we're in for an auditory surprise.

[deft sonnet]

poggies

[knotty crown]

Pastel, usually 2FA doesn't require the number once you have the app.

[patent dust]

oh nel i got it, 2fa though yubikey B)

everyone go buy a yubikey!

[warm plover]

Audio grab bag

[hidden lynx]

Queendom of L'asëa! (asëa means kindly, beneficial, and helpful) I like that it's abbreviated into QoL (quality of life) and has a good meaning! Which I enjoy! And sounds cool! AND if it's pronounced -la sea ah- it's ALSO mermaidy!
Honestly in all seriousness the neighborhood I start when that's actually a thing will be my Queendom and I plan to run weekly events for everyone and organize adventure parties - help new players and have everyone be kind and helpful - like that's my ACTUAL goal for anyone legitimately curious

Alright so I want to convey the first part in a shorter way but hit all those fun bits - and then the second part I want to reword and maybe expand one? like the main goal is to create a community that is focused on helping each other and new players, playing and adventuring together, and working with other neighborhoods to help them as well --- so I can have the same message anytime someone asks about it and others can use it to cause I get pinged ALOT in here when people bring up neighborhoods which I LOVE

[worldly lily]

2FA ?

[remote latch]

yes, my mum has to use my mobile for that part of anything such as bank secure call backs, medical messages etc .. not everyone has access to what people using technical stuff thinks. There needs to be back up options to cover those eventualities.

[warm plover]

2 factor authentication i think

[knotty crown]

I'd suggest not because people have to copy-paste that name.

[worldly lily]

Oh OK TY

[night kraken]

Yep

[warm plover]

sebby why are you awake

[summer obsidian]

What do you plan to do if you have more people that want to join your kingdom, but it is more than the number allowed in a neighborhood?

[hidden lynx]

other people dont have to at alllll if anyone woudl WANT to they could

[novel plank]

2FA is my best friend i have it on everything

[worldly lily]

I use it just never knew what it was called by lol

[night kraken]

Well I napped, but only managed to sleep for an hour, so here I am. Why are you awake though mate?

[patent dust]

yubikeys are great cause its a physical thing, so if someone hacks your account, the only possible way they could ever get in is if they have your physical device, which is impossible

[tough orchid]

@distant oar Is there going to be minimal/recommended computer specs during the pre-alpha?

[warm plover]

I'm not actually sure

[lone crane]

Assign dukes/duchesses to overview a second neighborhood.

[hasty crescent]

Good news guys, I haven't been rejected. Other news, I haven't got any emails lmao

[night kraken]

Then sleep lol

[surreal gust]

Tbh, it’s the very First time when My engagement is some huge in the game community, you are all great guys And making me believe that this will be Legendary!

[hidden lynx]

have people I trust run a neighboring neighborhood and help them run it? So like mine - then a group under mine that is within the same umbrella

[warm plover]

I don't know if I could stand going to sleep right now

[knotty crown]

Just La Sia or La Cia would be fine

[lone crane]

called it.

[hasty crescent]

Alliances!

[worldly lily]

so when does someone post a count down by the minutes till keys are awarded?

[warm plover]

do we even have a set date for them?

[hasty crescent]

i think the focus is more the actual meaning than the pronouncation, besides you probably send out invites to the people

[summer obsidian]

not that I've seen

[hasty crescent]

sometime soon™️

[warm plover]

then how would we get a countdown lmao

[lone crane]

[hidden lynx]

asëa - is elvish for kindly, helpful, and beneficial ---- so im not gonna change it unless I take out the ë and just meake it e

[uncut bear]

[night kraken]

We guess

[patent dust]

sometime between now and friday, i guess lol

[knotty crown]

Which Elvish?

[hidden lynx]

i would have to regoogle >.>

[tough orchid]

The announcement said a week from the 23rd so maybe on the 30th or the first of July

[left pebble]

YOOOO

[patent dust]

likely tolkien elvish, it seems to be the most common

[lone crane]

The NPCs are gonna be saying stuff like "wow I hope I can catch this fish SOON" "I think this shipment should be coming SOON" big meme energy with this word

[summer obsidian]

JEL!!!!

[knotty crown]

I prefer dnd elvish

[warm plover]

Jel vibes

[night kraken]

Should have known he was a tailor, he looks the part

[hasty crescent]

I don't think you need to change the ë, if there's a search system people can find it, and if not you can always just throw out an invite to people instead

[uncut bear]

I knew he’d be a tailor

[tough orchid]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE

[left pebble]

Omiata family huh?

[rustic compass]

is this new guy a romance option?

[tepid lion]

Awe man Jel looks awesome!!!!

[warm plover]

Tbh I thought he was gonna be nb

[hasty crescent]

CAN WE ROMANCE JEL

[static mango]

i saw a ping and i thought the fricking pre alpha emails rolled out

[tranquil cosmos]

adds Jel to top of romance list

[umbral ferry]

nb?

[gritty veldt]

GOOD STUFF GOOD STUFF

[knotty crown]

Assuming ë will even be allowed for neighborhood names >.>

[obtuse heart]

Only if you Jel

[warm plover]

nonbinary

[lavish remnant]

I could totally vibe for an evening walk with Jel to ponder our crafts

[hasty crescent]

I will Jel

[midnight mantle]

Man, Jel looks awesome

[patent dust]

could still be NB

[tough orchid]

That's news to me lool

[deft sonnet]

damn what a handsome boy

[lime forge]

ikr

[summer obsidian]

I LOVE Jel! He might be my favorite!

[umbral ferry]

Why are you GPL licensed though

[lone crane]

Oh Jel do be looking kinda clean, this guy dressed fresh.

[lime forge]

we’re all gonna be cuties.

[hidden lynx]

its apparently tolkiens elvish Rez >.>

[little silo]

Well I figured Nel. Was typing something up in another channel as soon as she went quiet here.

[warm plover]

But they use 'he' rather than 'they'
which doesnt mean its impossible, but it feels less likely now

[fallen sun]

Now all I can think about is those Dr Scholl's "We're Gellin'" commercials

[outer phoenix]

Husband time!!!

[knotty crown]

So it's confirmed that there are "families" but not "houses"?

[tough orchid]

YOUNGEST of 6 ???? how big is this family

[fallen sun]

more than 4

[knotty crown]

Are Families like Houses or not?

[warm plover]

about eight people apparently

[lavish remnant]

I have no idea what that means, GPL is an acronym for mine and my buddy's youtube channel

[midnight mantle]

I would hope there’s families

[static mango]

someones been getting their boink boink on

[hasty crescent]

pronouns don't equal gender, but there's plenty of chance for more diverse characters

[left pebble]

I would say Tamala and Jel are both children of Eshe?

[summer obsidian]

Omiata family - do tell more!

[lone crane]

Come on chubby girl romance... 🙏

[loud musk]

JEL WOWOWOW

[distant oar]

Yes, yes you can.

[fallen sun]

It's an open-source license people use for software

[midnight mantle]

Exactly!

[patent dust]

my best friend is NB and uses all pronouns

[hasty crescent]

my birth family is a family of 12 children

[lavish remnant]

ah lol

[hasty crescent]

YES. THANK YOU

[warm plover]

huh.

[obtuse heart]

CONFIRRRRRMED

[knotty crown]

There's a difference between a "family" that's your parents and siblings, and a "family" that's your house/clan/etc that's extended, or a mob family.

[fallen sun]

You're ah... gonna get a lot of confused comments about it.

[abstract geode]

👀

[thorn needle]

I love Jel

[hasty crescent]

I'm gonna simp so HARD

[carmine relic]

My turn on the questions! I said it before and I'll say it again! Wizard hat?!

[tough orchid]

Can he jell me up for the welcoming festival ?

[hidden lynx]

Nel just over here completely throwing Art and sending chat into a feeding frenzy xD

[hasty crescent]

WIZARD HAT

[obtuse heart]

JEL FOR HUSBAND!!!

[lavish remnant]

at least I know what it means now lol

[little silo]

The day's announcement has been made. I can nap now.

[hasty crescent]

T-T Jels so pretty and

[midnight mantle]

I meant it as a joke of “where else would they come from?!”

[deft sonnet]

hypuhh

[gritty veldt]

i’ll ask jel for you homie since we have a trade deal going on

[umbral ferry]

Haha

[merry socket]

Wow jel is attractive

[blazing mason]

I am so interested to see how romancing will work in a mmo environment

[carmine relic]

I forgot who Jel is

[lavish remnant]

Is Jel's favorite snack Jello?

[thorn needle]

Same here!

[gritty veldt]

that is the pvp

[hasty crescent]

I'm pretty sure I saw some houses in the trailer idk about you Rezilia haha... (bad joke)

[obtuse heart]

Ok so I need to stockpile Pebbles for Einar and ... cloth? for Jel?

[patent dust]

are there any canon trans characters in palia? >.> just curious

[midnight mantle]

Oh my goodness YES

[blazing mason]

Lololol

[summer obsidian]

There should be! But, not sure if we've met any yet...

[hasty crescent]

probably be "instanced" maybe?

[knotty crown]

Honestly I had a headcanon idea that there aren't really "families" in the sense of heirs and such, instead there are these huge Ancestral Lines that people are part of (like big clans/families) that are of importance, like one are rangers, others are alchemists, etc.

[obtuse heart]

HANDS OFF MY HUSBAND

[lavish remnant]

lol one person per server can romance jel, it's a pvp of who can do it best! lol

[rose cedar]

cant romance Einar but he still likes pebbles

[umbral ferry]

I hope romancing will be more interesting than the Harvest Moon way of "throw their favourite thing at them daily" :p

[gritty veldt]

#🌠│official-art the tailor, i bet he will know if there’s wizard hats

[midnight mantle]

Gotta duel to romance anyone

[lavish remnant]

Einar is just playing hard to get

[hasty crescent]

I wonder if we can romance other players...

[gritty veldt]

case in point lmao

[carmine relic]

LETS GOOO (if he doesn't, I will be mad)

[deft sonnet]

same

[safe fern]

Thank you 😭

[midnight mantle]

Role playing servers, maybe?

[tough orchid]

@distant oar My parents are actually tailors by trade, this is warming my heart THANK YOU 😭

[obtuse heart]

as long as we can dance on mailboxes, yes.

[stark niche]

Gonna romance Zeki so that he can be my sugar daddy

[little silo]

Tbh romance is the feature in least excited about...

[midnight oak]

Just need Bre and Peanutbutte and you'll have a Peanutbutte and Jel sammich.

[rose cedar]

but there are no duels

[knotty crown]

In that headcanon, your elder family members are aunties/uncles, your cousins etc are you sisters/brothers. So it's more community focused, the whole ancestral line (which shares one Name) raises each other. 🙂

[gritty veldt]

wish i had a dababy react so just imagine it

[midnight mantle]

Might be some PvP tho, which could mean duels

[carmine relic]

Gonna make jokes at Zeki being short

[brittle lance]

Off to work. Have fun everyone 👋

[distant oar]

Alright, need to get to other work stuff so gonna be quiet for a few hours. Stay awesome, folks!

[summer obsidian]

So excited we have another villager vote coming soon. Was concerned when there wasn't one this weekend. And...NEW VILLAGERS to vote on! YAY!!

[flat palm]

It'd be like a peacock battle, who ever has the fanciest, most fashionable clothes wins

[patent dust]

zeki is definitely like 4' tall

[hidden lynx]

See I am over here like each new character that we get to learn about brings us one step closer to the game being done and I just love that

[rose cedar]

pvp as in a foot race or a card game. see the pins. it says no duels

[deft sonnet]

u2 gl

[little silo]

Nel has spoken!

[tough orchid]

PROJECT RUNWAY Palia addition

[midnight mantle]

I’m aware, having fun with it though right now

[hasty crescent]

jel can be romanced, scream more

[carmine relic]

Careful though. Zeki is at just the right height to take your kneecaps

[obtuse heart]

PvP Outfit competitions

[gritty veldt]

welcome. join us

[fallen sun]

lol one person per server can romance jel, it's a pvp of who can do it best! lol
Where's that image of the girl having a package of hotdogs thrown at her face when you need it

[viral cliff]

I can already smell the Jel fanfic 😩

[hot otter]

aaaa jel! i already love him, imagine taking nightly walks with jel

[flat palm]

Making it sound like Zeki is running the Mafia or smthn, going after people

[tough orchid]

I have a feeling I'm going to be spending most of my time in Palia picking out my daily outfits

[idle kiln]

i hope this game asks for your pronouns before you log in, i wouldnt want to be misgendered >.>

[hasty crescent]

short people are violent.
Source: I am short

[carmine relic]

I mean, he does peddle questionable goods

[gritty veldt]

you do t understand ive mentioned twice that i want him to have a thick italian accent

[flat palm]

The Black Market :O

[flat palm]

Aight, since you seem so confident I believe you

[cinder temple]

Chewed on this a bit, and here's what I came up with for you.

I'm putting together a community guild! The Queendom of L'asëa (QoL) is going to be a helpful hand across the land. Once Palia has neighborhoods, I'm going to build L'asëa from the ground up and invite friendly players to help me do it. We'll have weekly events, organized adventures and parties, and offer to assist people all over Palia whether they're in our group or not. If you're someone who likes helping new players and building positive memories, consider moving into the Queendom where everyone feels like royalty.

I went at it like a guild advertisement, since that's essentially what it'll be. The meaning of the name is something you can tell people if they show additional interest in your group, but I removed it from the ad because it's not the primary focus of the group - which is kindness and community building.

[carmine relic]

Maybe that's why he has so many keys.

[thorn needle]

I can only assume itll go based on your characters gender if past MMOs are any indicator

[obtuse heart]

Mama mia! I hava da wares if you hava da coin!

[regal swallow]

Note: 5 extra siblings of Jel

[gritty veldt]

i literally want zeki to be the palian version of an italian mob boss bc i think it will be funny

[rose cedar]

they can have Jel, gonna romance Eshe to get those housing upgrades cheap. lol

[wide wedge]

my what?

[patent dust]

player characters are not gendered in any way

[hasty crescent]

Palia doesn't have a gender setting, its just different body types you can choose from

[knotty crown]

Actually, my Goblin Underground is basically the mafia xD

[carmine relic]

Wizard hat!

[gritty veldt]

PFFT read that in mario’s voice

[thorn needle]

Oh i didnt know that!

[fallen sun]

Maybe that frenemy duchess is available; gotta consider my legacy, yaknow?

[dusk flume]

I am a fan of Jel

[hasty crescent]

I will say this to as many people as I can, you can romance Jel. :D I'M SO HAPPY YOU CAN ROMANCE HOT ELF

[little silo]

No time for romance, only Capitalism!

[fallen sun]

Sign me up for: His name seems problematic

[flat palm]

Anyone with that many keys has to be suspicious

[deft sonnet]

wonder if jell will greet me if he walks by me when im fishing?

[wide wedge]

jell new husbando for the win

[tranquil cosmos]

I like his hair. I wonder if we'll get customization like that too

[gritty veldt]

art imitates life 😔

[summer obsidian]

I'm looking forward to seeing Jel walking at night and knowing that he's working on tomorrow's available fashion items!

[flat palm]

Too many secrets

[knotty crown]

And don't worry, everyone. You don't have to be a part of the family to be a part of the Family

[frosty rune]

I'm so excited for this

[wide wedge]

haha i imagine like 20 people crowding him at night it will be so fun

[celest maple]

*I'm looking forward to seeing Jel walking at night.

Ftfy

[knotty crown]

Jel is one of my best agents.

[hasty crescent]

is stealing grass and paying people to take their grass back illegal in your mafia kingdom for goblins? do you trade shiny maths rocks???

[knotty crown]

(eating dinner now bbl)

[deft sonnet]

fbi agent?

[flat palm]

Idk, she's so fabulous. I'd be a homewrecker for her :O

[dusk flume]

You can romance Jel? Interesting....I am very unsure how this game plays out now xD but still very excited.

Of course...if I am going to be a true neutral entity for all my friends here. I don't think I can let anyone lock me down romantically :o

[gritty veldt]

jels hair ,,,, simply supreme chefs kiss

[thorn needle]

Secret agent?

[midnight oak]

"Takes nightly walks to ponder his craft." Are we sure Jel isn't a vampire? =U

[deft sonnet]

🤫

[patent dust]

i love jel but i cannot abandon jina

[hasty crescent]

Jel's fashion is very gothic, so mayhaps

[honest widget]

So Jel reveal means a new lot of villagers to vote on? Hopefully the dutchess is part of the next vote.

[willow cave]

Do you think he gels it?

[fallen sun]

I'm going to hear those Dr Scholl's commercials every single time I see his name though

[patent dust]

UHG

[thorn needle]

Ill be disappointed if he doesnt

[hasty crescent]

i love you.

[gritty veldt]

wheeze

[patent dust]

whoa has rubbed off on yall

[flat palm]

why so?

[summer obsidian]

Hmm...Jel and Jina...I'm seeing possible name conventions if they ARE part of the big family

[hasty crescent]

any puns or dad jokes and I will profess my love

[lilac portal]

I'd love to be an apprentice to Jel and learn the craft. I wonder how professions will work.

[flat palm]

Oh dang, we got a marriage going on here?

[crisp violet]

Wait have pre alpha codes already been handed out?

[hasty crescent]

no

[deft sonnet]

nah mate

[thorn needle]

[knotty crown]

Stealing from other Family members is basically like saying hi, as long as it's something invaluable and you plan to give it back (with "reverse" pickpocketing etc). Actually, "stowing" is just as important as "stealing" >.>

Extorting other Family members is a no-no.

Gambling is never allowed, ever. You can be a shady merchant, but you can't do gambling.

The most important thing to us is information, not shinies. We like boxes too tho 😄 (We can put traps in them, or use them to sneak around!)

[fallen sun]

While back they had an ad campaign about Gel shoe inserts. In the ad, all their characters were able to forget all their troubles because they were so comfortable. To express this sentiment, the characters would repeat the phrase: "I'm Gellin' " ad nauseam

"No more yellin', cause im jellin"

[knotty crown]

Duchess lady, I have such hots for.

[hasty crescent]

📝 Goblins have no shiny maths rocks, they are imposters

[knotty crown]

Goblins rarely actually care about shiny things.

[carmine relic]

He absolutely wiuld be, but what would his boss name even be?

[knotty crown]

We take shinies because you have shinies.

[cinder temple]

You mean it doesn't Jel with you?

[hasty crescent]

I love you.

[little silo]

No click clacks? :O

[fallen sun]

I certainly wasnt jelous of them

[knotty crown]

Someone's just Jel-ous

[gritty veldt]

wheeze x2

[fallen sun]

TOO SLOW.

[knotty crown]

DANGIT

[frosty rune]

How many people are they getting for pre-alpha anyway?

[hasty crescent]

1400

[frosty rune]

If anyone knows

Oh

[frigid python]

I will date Jel and nobody will stop me!

[hasty crescent]

you're about to get 5 more replies jubee lmao

[hidden lynx]

I love this 😭 you're so great you got exactly what I wanted and mean and I just thank you 😭

[knotty crown]

no they're getting

420
every day

[little silo]

Yeah... less than 1%

[fallen sun]

What if he smels though

[hasty crescent]

blaze it

[gritty veldt]

hmmm i’d have to think about this,,, it should be a personalize dtitle but idk what he’s like yet , so might have to wait til we known more or were in game to make a suitable one

[cinder temple]

Well, he does go for all those nightly walks...

[warm gale]

Hiii

[hasty crescent]

1% of 80,000 is 800... 1% of 83,000 is 830 (just looked at the member count)

[tranquil cosmos]

I wonder if the NPCs will get mad if you date several lol

[warm gale]

I need Jel to be queer :3 thanks

[little silo]

I thought we were well over 100k by now, I have not looked lately

[deft sonnet]

woop woop

[wide wedge]

thats a fact my boy

[lone crane]

NPCs probably all bi.

[flat palm]

Aight, but don't cheat on Zeki, someone says he goes after people's kneecaps

[frosty rune]

How many are we at?

[gritty veldt]

they alluded to that

[frosty rune]

Oj

[deft sonnet]

84 k

[undone mist]

I must be a oddity. I dont plan on having a relationship with any of the characters. Going solo

[frosty rune]

Oh*

[hasty crescent]

I assume all romance options are free for all. Not to mention PCs don't choose a gender so y'know, they NPCs can't actually tell

[tranquil cosmos]

Hmmm, I DO enjoy having kneecaps....

[fallen sun]

Save time by having Palian culture be agnostic of traditional gender mores

[frosty rune]

Just noticed

[summer obsidian]

Since no one is picking an assigned gender, I would assume every NPC has no gender preference either when dating

[hidden lynx]

There are almost 83k people in the server

[hasty crescent]

i simp for elves, but I am also content in not dating

[flat palm]

Don't we all

[carmine relic]

Obviously he's "little ___"

[cinder temple]

I think I'd enjoy snatching Jel by his scrawny little hand and taking him out fishing while he fusses about getting his clothes wet.

[frigid python]

Platonic relationship plz

[flat palm]

How do you check :O

[tranquil cosmos]

My assumption is, all NPCs are going to be pansexual, so no gender judgement

[lone crane]

Oh yeah, facts. So probably true.

[warm gale]

Ohh true true

[hasty crescent]

in pinned there's a server invite that shows us

[flat palm]

Like a QPP? Or Friendship

[remote latch]

And hopefully not forced on you via any story line tasks that you have to do to progress your story

[hidden lynx]

In the top left in the banner for the server :)

[granite pagoda]

83,233 currently, im expecting us to hit 100k neighbors by the time S6 gets close to launching the game

[hasty crescent]

friendship

[warm gale]

Anyway
Tea Mori is opened everyone 🤗

[flat palm]

Thanks :D

[wide wedge]

im looking forward on coop with fishermen and hunters to get myself into cooking spec

[fallen sun]

So you're saying we can accelerate development by recruiting

[flat palm]

I wanna skip rocks! and Run around

[carmine relic]

I'll be a potion guy who'll try to buff everyone ever

[hasty crescent]

I assume dating will give more personal for those characters, but there's likely story for all characters avaible for friendships too :)

[summer obsidian]

that's what I heard...

[hidden lynx]

Oh mine must be wrong? It shows 82,929

[floral cypress]

When do invites start going out? Me and the wife are dying lol

[flat palm]

Do you think you could do an apprenticeship with some of the NPCs?

[summer obsidian]

it updates when you close and reopen discord

[granite pagoda]

No no, we don't want to rush them developing the game haha

[potent estuary]

hi guys

[flat palm]

Like learn designing from Jel

[azure rock]

I imagine after the pre alpha more people will want to join

[hidden lynx]

Also hi Kalan!!! Hope you're having a great day 🥳

[granite pagoda]

I actually checked the member list in settings haha, that was the most accurate number I had to show

[hasty crescent]

I think we'll hit that by alpha release (not pre-alpha) Since they're planning to release 1.0 in the next three years

[gritty veldt]

if there’s anything we’ve learned with palia it’s that numbers are often underestimated tho lol. ig it depends on how far fr launch we actually are

[lilac portal]

That's what I'm hoping for! Different apprenticeships

[warm gale]

I want my tea shop and my Gardenia Lane neighborhood 😵‍💫

[hasty crescent]

I will become EVERY PROFRESSION

[granite pagoda]

Oh yeah, alpha is what I meant woopsies

[honest widget]

I'm hoping for a furniture crafting profession to help fill up all the houses

[flat palm]

That'd be freaking dope

[hasty crescent]

Carpentry?

[granite pagoda]

I'm alright, not good but not bad, just trying not to get hungry mainly today lol, hope you're having a good day as well

[hidden lynx]

:o Merksy we have a cool message statement for the Queendom now wanna seeee

[potent estuary]

I hope my CPU is good for the Palia . If it is not I must change it.

[granite pagoda]

What CPU?

[azure rock]

OMG YESS

[remote latch]

you can chop down trees .. make sense you can turn them into planks etc

[honest widget]

Yep, maybe a lumberjack profession to pair with it

[flat palm]

Straight up gunna buy a new computer for Palia

[potent estuary]

İ5-4440s

[flat palm]

I think mine will run it

[hidden lynx]

I'm putting together a community guild! The Queendom of L'asëa (QoL) is going to be a helpful hand across the land. Once Palia has neighborhoods, I'm going to build L'asëa from the ground up and invite friendly players to help me do it. We'll have weekly events, organized adventures and parties, and offer to assist people all over Palia whether they're in our group or not. If you're someone who likes helping new players and building positive memories, consider moving into the Queendom where everyone feels like royalty.

[summer obsidian]

excuse me, does this computer come in Palia-color?

[hasty crescent]

I'm not... Asking what carpentry is, I know what it is lmao I'm suggesting that as the profression they were discussing

[little silo]

Should be fine tbh thats still a very relevant CPU

[granite pagoda]

A little old, but quad core, so maybe you'll be able to play on lower settings perhaps, although dont take my word for it

[azure rock]

I love it

[gritty veldt]

google doc says they’re currently running the game on pretty garbage pcs

[arctic onyx]

TWC is part of that kingdom

[flat palm]

If it don't I sure as heck am gunna paint it

[hasty crescent]

good cause mine is garbage

and I do mean garbage.

[potent estuary]

If it is not good for Palia. I will buy Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 5 2600

[hasty crescent]

I cannot update to windows 10 type garbage.

[flat palm]

If I gotta sacrifice graphic quality tho to play this I will buy a new computer O.O

[hidden lynx]

Of course it is 🥰

[remote latch]

I thought you were asking if they were having carpentry as an occupation .. so I was saying it would be a sensible progression from chopping down trees and thus agreeing with you .. my apologies if I misunderstood what you were saying 🙂

[flat palm]

The environment is what I am most excited about

[granite pagoda]

Cut tree, make plank, make Einar walk the plank

[gritty veldt]

the issue is idk what garbage is to game developers. like their garbage could be a normies decent lol

[granite pagoda]

Wait not that last part

[arctic onyx]

oh shit i meant queendom

[knotty crown]

I'm pretty sure all NPCs will be fine with all models, if that's what you mean. There aren't sexes/genders in this game.

[hasty crescent]

I mean its easy to misunderstand a one word sentence lmao

[azure rock]

I can't wait until we are able to form the Queendom

[cinder temple]

I heard a rumor that Palia can be played on KFC's chicken-warming game console.

[hidden lynx]

EXCUSE ME??? No.

[flat palm]

Gasp! A Pirate!

[hasty crescent]

into a giant pool of pebbles for einar to keep

[granite pagoda]

Listen, im gonna pillage and plunder everyone's houses, they'll call me the pebble pirate.

[hidden lynx]

@cinder temple did it for me and I'm just so happppppy 🥳

[little silo]

I find that generally i5 4440 is very close to the lowest you should go for a low budget gaming pc CPU. You will want to upgrade within a year or two though.

[modern relic]

LET ME MARRY JEL

[summer obsidian]

locks door

[hasty crescent]

Gasp, can we team up? I take grass you take the pebbles

[flat palm]

All I can image is Einar jumping off the plank, grabbing it with his long arms, and getting sling shot across the map instead of falling into the water

[hasty crescent]

you can

[azure rock]

[gritty veldt]

YOU CAN!!!

[modern relic]

WAIT ACTUALLY

[flat palm]

Pebble Pirates is such a cute name O.O

[hidden lynx]

You really wanna attack my Queendom???

[hasty crescent]

Yeah I asked and nel said yes

[coarse portal]

You can romance him, idk about marry

[modern relic]

LETS GO 😎

[hasty crescent]

potato potato

[hidden lynx]

Like REALLY? You wanna attack us??

[granite pagoda]

That's Pebble Captain Kalan to you!

[vernal knot]

i really like jel !! he reminds me of a vampire, like him an awful lot

[patent dust]

i dont think marriage of any kind is in the game yet, just romance

[potent estuary]

I have rx460. I wıll buy Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600

[tranquil cosmos]

Kalan going the chaotic evil route

[hasty crescent]

me with the lowest intel graphics card

[flat palm]

I wanna be a Pebble Pirate

[little silo]

Some choose fame, some choose infamy

[cinder temple]

Kalan arrives to pillage. The Queen meets them at the drawbridge.
"Hello! :)"
Kalan: Y'ARR. GIMME DA PEBBLES.
"Would you also like some cake?"
Kalan: .. cake.
"Yeah, come on in."
Kalan, confused, given a slice of cake, three pebbles, and a cup of tea also.

[azure rock]

Don't make me get me bonking stick

[granite pagoda]

Too late, i've already walked the plank, these seas belong to the pebble pirates

[hidden lynx]

It's on. @prisma halo assemble the Queens Guard!

[vernal knot]

my inn is open to people of all alignments , i'm not one to turn in some pirates

[deft sonnet]

okay first neighbor war?

[patent dust]

We'll have relationships and romance, things like spouses and children could come later yeah theres no marriage yet

[flat palm]

Why are you the one walking the plank x3

[hidden lynx]

Honestly that's pretty accurate...

[potent estuary]

Don't forget Pebbledrop Pint Tavern pls.

[gritty veldt]

yet 😏

[flat palm]

Lez be real, first neighbor war was Chappa or Chuu

[honest widget]

Speaking of pirates and seas...I wonder if we can build/buy boats?

[uncut bear]

Hazzah

[deft sonnet]

charge

[little silo]

If you can afford it, I always "future proof" my builds by investing in parts that are just 1 or 2 generations behind the current top-tier. It gets me the most longevity for my $

[azure rock]

Unleash the horde of chuus!!

[carmine relic]

I don't even know if we'll have oceans

[gritty veldt]

ah the milk has been summoned

[granite pagoda]

I'm going to build a land boat capable of travel utilizing very round pebbles, or as the ancient humans called them...

wheels.

[carmine relic]

The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles!

[hidden lynx]

Simuel isn't wrong I would give you lots of shiny pebbles and cake and tea and food and ask what else I could help you with

[granite pagoda]

slaps boat This baby can fit so many pebbles inside it!

[honest widget]

We know we can fish so some type of body of water must exist

[potent estuary]

If i can afford it , I want new Gpu too but GPU prices is very high for me.

[gritty veldt]

the pioneers rode babies ????

[rose cedar]

sky fishing is fun.

[cinder temple]

I just had a horrible thought that there might not be acorns in Palia for me to collect, but there probably will be pinecones, so I'm placated again.

[little silo]

Crypto is crashing, now is a good time to look for GPUs

[flat palm]

Can I join your Pebble Crew O.O

[honest widget]

Airships it is then

[granite pagoda]

Alright i've had enough fun this afternoon lol, but i'm definitely eyeing becoming the Pebble Pirate Captain, Einar will be my right hand machine.

[arctic onyx]

ayo imma slap a chapaa as soon as i see one

[summer obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/babyfaceplant-fail-ouch-cutebaby-gif-3994187

[potent estuary]

I will wait more.

[hasty crescent]

[arctic onyx]

nah

[hasty crescent]

I'm sorry but you're wrong

[arctic onyx]

you can't stop me

[gritty veldt]

actual footage of me waking up this morning LMAO

[little silo]

Good call. Nvidia 3000 series should be dropping considerably soon

[hasty crescent]

I won't try and stop you, but you are wrong

[flat palm]

Where ya slapping em

[cinder temple]

Chapaa are so fluffy that if you slapped one, it'd think you were petting it.

[hasty crescent]

waking up in the morning? Tell me your secret

[arctic onyx]

nothing wrong in hunting down virtual critters

[little silo]

AND 2070S are very affordable now

[granite pagoda]

In due time me mate, as the pebble gentleman o' fortune, I will make sure all pebbles be mine.

[potent estuary]

Yeah

[flat palm]

:O I'm a Mate :O

[knotty crown]

[carmine relic]

Time to hoard pebbles

[arctic onyx]

right across their dumb faces 😈

[mystic gale]

Hi I’m a big fan of Jel and I hope I can have a look like his and whoa what is going on here :O

[hasty crescent]

you can romance jel

[gritty veldt]

stumbling around apparently lol

[summer obsidian]

a war is brewing

[mystic gale]

I don’t want to romance him, I just want to raid his closet

[flat palm]

:D

[little silo]

Meh. Romancing NPC has zero appeal to me.

[hasty crescent]

well I'll help you

[arctic onyx]

it will lose all value when everyone marries the same npc

[mystic gale]

Chapaa/chuu or something else?

[hidden lynx]

Oh Mira! Hi fren 🥰 and Age80 wanna see the cool mission statement for the Queendom I have now???

[hasty crescent]

Pebble Pirates vs the Queedom

[arctic onyx]

walking into a homies house only to find your virtual wife living with him 💀

[knotty crown]

Sounds like espionage to me, gain friendship to steal stuff xD

[summer obsidian]

Pebble Captain Kalan is out to pillage everyone's pebbles...and Queen Britt's Queen's Guard was out to protect the small-folk...

[mystic gale]

Sure! Also what are Pebble Pirates

[knotty crown]

"We Be Goblins"

[granite pagoda]

Every 'ome in this here neighborhood will 'ave a pebble at their doorstep, a signal that there the pebble gentleman o' fortune Cap'n be around an' ready to collect the pebble tax.

[hidden lynx]

Pebble Pirates is from Mod Kelan trying to steal my pebbles and everyone else's

[knotty crown]

Goblin Underground will watch and wait before choosing a side.

[potent estuary]

We will sell anything both of them. Milk, Ale etc. for money of course . :DDD

[little silo]

Lol. I have complicated enough relations IRL, virtual BOTs just aren't appealing.

[hasty crescent]

my persona for games is a bumbling mess so I doubt he'll chose a side

[knotty crown]

But GU does claim the ocean... under the surface, that is.

[granite pagoda]

Haha back to my daily duties, im watching you 👀

[carmine relic]

Call me a circle, because I'm siding with nothing

[hidden lynx]

I thought we were friends and allies 🥺

[flat palm]

:OOO

Where to sign up?

[knotty crown]

It's Complicated

[vernal knot]

im just going to run my little inn-tavern and kiss jel

[hidden lynx]

Just dm me!

[hasty crescent]

I will join every community discord that'll have me and stare from the sidelines

[uncut bear]

The pebbledrop pint tavern will remain unaligned as to not pick favorites

[mystic gale]

Oh you’re up against a mod? That seems like an abuse of authority and a tough fix

[carmine relic]

I'm going to visit everyone ever and be everywhere

[hasty crescent]

Can we be nomadic wizards together?

[flat palm]

God, is that you?

[carmine relic]

Maybe.

[arctic onyx]

you're not welcome to my volcano

[potent estuary]

Yes We are aligned just money.

[hidden lynx]

Hahaha it's all in good fun 😂 I am definitely not actually going to war with anyone 😂

[little silo]

Can't be, I ate God

[flat palm]

What'd they taste like?

[carmine relic]

Ok Whatever, your volcano is probably lined with cheap ash and not obsidian anyway

[knotty crown]

War isn't always a choice. o.o

[granite pagoda]

OR ARE YOU?!

[little silo]

Disappointment @flat palm

[mystic gale]

That’s what they all say at the start of a war

[hidden lynx]

But if WE DID I would clearly win...

[flat palm]

But it is a question :D

[knotty crown]

^ this

[summer obsidian]

The only war Britt has ever been part of I have seen is the war for great Turnip Prices 😛

[hidden lynx]

IM TRYING TO BE PEACEFUL AND HELPFUL YOURE NOT HELPING AJD MIRA WILL DESTROY YOU

[knotty crown]

The Turnip Wars were some of the deadliest in history.

[granite pagoda]

[hidden lynx]

Ohmg the chaos hahaha

[carmine relic]

And I ain't no god, I'm just a random wizard who's probably lost

[flat palm]

:OOOO Throwdown between the Queendom and the Pebble Pirates

[uncut bear]

Just come drink with us at the tavern. We’ll watch the chaos

[flat palm]

War

[summer obsidian]

Like, 12 hours of non-stop coming and going...so intense! 😛

[knotty crown]

When you realize magic crystals are technically pebbles and all of a sudden there's a shortage

[carmine relic]

This sounds like a trap to make me chess duel

[hidden lynx]

@granite pagoda is 😭

[knotty crown]

How big are your flatscreens?

[turbid ember]

PS4/PS5 sooon

[little silo]

Oh they're a mod I can't help SORRY GOOD LUCK

[potent estuary]

Heyy everybody calm down !!!!! Look like everybody need some Tavern milk pls take it and stay calm guys !!!!

[flat palm]

I'll bring the popcorn

[uncut bear]

Just remember that it’s a neutral zone

[potent estuary]

[carmine relic]

How many Palia "towns" do we have now?

[hidden lynx]

Ohmg I love you all hahaha this is the best

[knotty crown]

[uncut bear]

Sounds like a good time!

[wide wedge]

U guys rolling right away

[flat palm]

And I'm more of a Dwarf

[knotty crown]

so that's a no then

[hidden lynx]

Wow rude.

[knotty crown]

WE GO TO WAR

[cinder temple]

Einar probably has a treasure trove of valuables that he's fished up and kept because they were pretty, not realizing that he owns 80% of Palia's wealth.

[little silo]

I DM 3.5e, so by that definition I guess I kinda am too...

[flat palm]

COME AT ME BRUH

[brittle halo]

math rock go click clack

[hasty crescent]

SHINY MATHS ROCKS

[mystic gale]

If the first thing you guys do in Palia is bring war back then maybe humans should have stayed extinct XD

[nimble idol]

Unfortunately I’m 100% water

[hasty crescent]

shiny maths rocks go click clack make click clack sound when roll!

[flat palm]

Whaaat, everyone loves a good war

[hidden lynx]

Yeah I'm never ever actually going to war with anyone ever but it's fun to joke in here with others in good fun!

[uncut bear]

At first I was like “why go to war with dwarfs?” Then I remembered that lore piece you shared with me and remembered everything XD

[cinder comet]

Not me stalking the #📢│palia-news channel waiting for an update on there.. 👀

[knotty crown]

YES YOU REAL DWARF, THIS BE FUN WAR! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWz0qVvBZ0

[nimble idol]

The prophecy is true

[little silo]

Palia will be returned to the God-Emperor's embrace one way or another.

[knotty crown]

lol yeah

[brittle halo]

sometimes you just gotta choose violence

[vernal knot]

itll be a "war" in the sense that there are opposing sides, but the weapons will only be pillows and the occasional chuu

[flat palm]

How can you win without a little deadl friendly competition

[knotty crown]

you're not wrong

[wide wedge]

I'll just leave a proposal here... Anyone who wants to join my grinding neighbourhood to cooperate with others is welcomed

[hidden lynx]

I'll accept a pillow fight war hahahaha

[knotty crown]

Pillow Goblins >.>

[potent estuary]

If you need drink pls buy some from us. Pebbledrop Pint Tavern. THE GREATEST TAVERN EVER!!

[knotty crown]

There was one game with a pillow class... Ragnarok maybe?

[flat palm]

We're chucking Chuus at each other?

[vernal knot]

occassionally

[little silo]

Idk, Prancing Pony is pretty great i heard

[nimble idol]

And if you ever need to hire a bard, I’m available

[gritty veldt]

the chuu/chapaas chuck you actually

[uncut bear]

This Is great for business

[little silo]

Some Hobbits told me

[flat palm]

Dang, someone wasn't skipping arm day then

[knotty crown]

Btw did you see the video? xD Goblin/Dwarf war 😄

[uncut bear]

You’re hired

[mystic gale]

Even I would join a pillow fight but I’d lay waste to both sides for my own glory

[knotty crown]

I'm a Dancer, technically.

[hidden lynx]

Wow rude.

[late dune]

must... have...

[knotty crown]

Wow rude. 😛

[late dune]

alpha key...

[mystic gale]

All’s fair in pillows and war!

[little silo]

See, my approach is to simply deal pillows to both sides.

[hidden lynx]

Couple more days to wait!

[lone crane]

It's gonna be chapaa races to determine outcomes of wars. Hope you have the smartest fastest bred chapaa.

[little silo]

I've got the BEST fighting pillows anywhere!

[knotty crown]

yes

[late dune]

couple more days indeed

[deft sonnet]

dancing in my room playing my feet

[flat palm]

Ooooh, can we have Chappa races like they do Turtle races

[knotty crown]

wut

[loud axle]

Yes please! I want to bet at the chuu track!

[potent estuary]

I hope we can build Alchemy Lab under the Tavern.

[knotty crown]

NO GAMBLING

[late dune]

heh

[cinder temple]

What if all the bets are food items?

[loud axle]

Or maybe you can raise a chuu as a pet and train it to race 😎

[hidden lynx]

Can you imagine we all get into pre-alpha and they are like okay what big thing would you like to see, and we all say pillow fights? And they are just like wait what???

[knotty crown]

Goblin Underground gonna be committing arson against gambling establishments xD

[late dune]

im sure you'd be able to build a lot of diff things... the game looks like a mixture of many of my fav games

[little silo]

No in-game gambling... under the table tho...

[late dune]

artisan goods!!!

[flat palm]

Bet pebbles

[potent estuary]

Gambling is bad .( If we can't benefit from it.)

[mystic gale]

Just can’t get those players to stop asking about pvp!

[uncut bear]

You’re hired too

[late dune]

need to chop me up some pickles

[knotty crown]

Goblin Underground is criminal empire. All crime go through GU and we say no gamble.

[lone crane]

Sneak preview at a chapaa competition. https://ibb.co/CWYTNvm

[little silo]

We bet in Imperial Credits, good sir.

[stark niche]

Gonna note that down for the merchant guild I'm making ;D

[knotty crown]

You didn't ask about the technically

[uncut bear]

Will we be able to place bets on games?

[loud axle]

Hey look it's the model for my hedgemaze

[flat palm]

I don't see why personal bets would be an issue :O

[knotty crown]

One of my goblins wants to be an OP merchant. Gorl I think?

[flat palm]

It's just some of us have a LOT of friends to bet with ;3

[uncut bear]

I’m confused from all the talk and chaos so I don’t know what’s going on half the time

[knotty crown]

as long as you do the black market through us we don't mind

[little silo]

Ain't nothing about gambling goes through above board channels... the harder you lean on it, the deeper it goes...

[knotty crown]

Well, I'm a Bladedancer...

[knotty crown]

GU is the below board channels

[flat palm]

PSSSST

[uncut bear]

Sounds dangerous

[little silo]

Then the gambling ring simply goes deeper.

[knotty crown]

Well, it's a combat class.

[stark niche]

We are upstanding citzens pshhh, we would never do anything illegal Crime talk somewhere else 🤫

[hidden lynx]

I can't even hahahaha

[flat palm]

||why do goblins and dwarves fight||

[deft sonnet]

bop bop

[magic lance]

hehe Combat wizards are fun 🙂

[rigid tinsel]

Shhhhhhhh im not here to brag how excited i am for Palia

[little silo]

I've always wanted to try a tinker build

[cinder temple]

I wonder if we'll be able to have water features in/around the house. For example, maybe you can set up a waterfall to fall just outside your door.

[uncut bear]

So you can entertain and protect?

[gritty veldt]

welcome aboard the hypetrain

[knotty crown]

||Because in lore we do. If you want a realistic explanation, it's because we battle over caves/caverns aka territory. Also because usually humans and elves are dealing with orcs and lizardmen, etc, so when an ally war happens normally dwarves and goblins ending up facing each other.||

[hidden lynx]

AHHHHHHH YES

[mystic gale]

That is exactly what I’m hoping for since day one

[little silo]

Very intrigued to see what sort of classes or professions we get to play with...

[knotty crown]

I can entertain and attacc >.> And also dodj

[knotty crown]

none

[loud axle]

There will be a pond in the center of my hedgemaze~

[flat palm]

||OOOOH, Thank you :o I am still newbish when it comes to DnD and such||

[mystic gale]

I’m not holding out hope since it’s a tough thing to put in a game, but if nothing else I’ll go for the aesthetic

[hidden lynx]

I need a lot of water features, a pond behind the castle surrounded by forest and a waterfall with a secret cave... And a huge flower garden in the front...

[uncut bear]

Can you fish in it?

[loud axle]

Or maybe I'll make a maze of underwater caverns 👀

[loud axle]

Of course! And you'll be able to catch legendary fish

[little silo]

Surely there is some variation on the concept, there is no RPG without some player distinction

[knotty crown]

I meant multiple games and works, and it's not always true, it's just the general logic. My reason for saying Gobs vs Dwarves is usually in response to saying "No, Gnomes aren't Goblins' enemies, Dwarves are!" cuz of WoW messing with Goblin lore xD

[cinder temple]

Yes, and I hear the loot table in there is just a-maze-ing.

[hidden lynx]

The puns ohmg

[knotty crown]

The better question is: can you fish in puddles?

[potent estuary]

Idk

[uncut bear]

Can you catch puddle fish in a puddle?

[knotty crown]

In all seriousness, there might not be in-game gambling due to laws alone regarding age ratings

[flat palm]

Lol, the only thing gnomes should be fighting are fairys in old ladys backyards

[knotty crown]

you can catch lots of things in puddles >.>

[knotty crown]

this

[uncut bear]

The legendary pebble fish!

[potent estuary]

I don't care about it. I want just Build TAVERN

[gritty veldt]

einar s ultimate fish

[little silo]

In-game being the key qualifier. Not that there will likely be much to sustain real gambling outside of the game...

[brave thorn]

Apologize for the tag, @distant oar, but I came up with a clever new video meme, but I would like to request permission from you to use a video of yours uploaded of your greyhound from a few months ago (the "Snuffle Mat ASMR"and I remembered it well). The idea popped in my head and I think you will personally enjoy it, but nevertheless I don't want to share content showing your greyhound without permission (and its something I can't get my dogs to do... I tried).

[knotty crown]

that depends on rules enforcement

[uncut bear]

It’s a combo of his favorite things so it must be like an instant friends kinda gift

[gritty veldt]

exactly , one of his loved items :3

[little silo]

Sure, they can prohibit it. I'm just saying, if there is the will, there is a way. Im not big on gambling or black-market trade IRL but realistically...

[gritty veldt]

wait i’m realizing,,,, if there a gift giving system similar to sdv,,,,,, i’m probably gonna have to figure out what the npcs like by myself until there’s a reference page LMAO

[uncut bear]

Einar requires 90billion pebbles

[uncut bear]

This is the true gaming experience

[knotty crown]

Also, forgot to mention, in RuneScape a tribe of goblins are allied with the dwarves

[cinder temple]

Everyone seems to think Zeki is going to be a tiny little kitten man, but what if he's just.. round and large? Like taller than Ashura?

[gritty veldt]

u don’t understand,,, that’s gonna go horribly wrong for me i suck at giving gifts in any situation

[magic lance]

in each shade of the spectrum

[onyx python]

jel's lookin kinda hot

[hidden lynx]

Okay so question - what would your dream house look like in Palia if there were no limits at all? Where would you build it? 👀

[onyx python]

👀

[hasty crescent]

under the sea

[carmine relic]

Fish

[onyx python]

in between two mountains near a lake

[coarse portal]

Hobbit hole!

[hasty crescent]

drown my enemies before they reach me

[gritty veldt]

this is the actual reason i want to get into prealpha: so i can make all my gift giving mistakes in a file that will eventually be wiped lol

[fallen sun]

Upon the highest mountain, so that I may scornfully look down upon the world

[uncut bear]

“Hey I got you this fish.”
“Eww gross never talk to me”

[faint dawn]

I think he will be medium.. i wouldnt say kitten, but not huge...

[carmine relic]

People who can't handle a fish aren't worth your time anyway

[fallen sun]

they put out a height chart, iirc

[mystic gale]

My house would be a laboratory with all kinds of fascinating mechanical wonders all around, something that looks busy and alive from the outside with little iron smokestacks and maybe a water wheel for power. So it would also need water

[gritty veldt]

i mean i would LOVE a fish,,,, but some people are allergic to seafood 😔

[potent estuary]

Is there marriage or like something in game ?

[carmine relic]

I might actually be a slight bit allergic to fish

[potent estuary]

maybe we can earn bonus with marriage.

[stark niche]

How much? I'll give you 5 pebbles for it

[uncut bear]

Fiiiiiishhhhh

[faint dawn]

I thibk how they are in the vote will be accurate...

[gritty veldt]

gambit: people who can’t handle fish aren’t worth your time
gambit: can’t handle fish

[carmine relic]

I can't eat the stuff without throwing up a few hours later. So uh, don't give me sea food

[potent estuary]

I like fishing but i don't like eating fish. yeah I'm Crazy person i know.

[cinder temple]

You're probably right about that. Still, a Totoro Zeki will entertain me until we know for sure.

[faint dawn]

Zeki's not small by any means... and his attitude might be bigger than you think...

[carmine relic]

Zeki is absolutely tiny.

[mystic gale]

The big question is, can Zeki transform into a bus

[distant oar]

go for it

[carmine relic]

You could probably pick him up like a football

[hidden lynx]

I would have mine be near the ocean to one side, a forest on the other side and along the back with a big pond, and a giant flower field in the front with pretty paths all around. And the castle would be made out of like pale blues/purple/pinks/greens opalescent stones and be shimmery with stained glass windows of all colors. Super welcoming and inviting and pretty. I'd have a huge ballroom for parties and events, a huge library and tea area, lots of cozy nooks all over and lots of bedrooms to host everyone 🥰

[uncut bear]

I just gotta know

[faint dawn]

I have a feeling ill watch to punch zeki a few times depening how he talks to me... xD

[deft sonnet]

your attitude is also bigger then you think!

[cinder temple]

Fresh out of stained glass, but would you accept seaglass mosaics?

[hidden lynx]

YES I would most certainly

[brave thorn]

Thanks, now in #🎭│palia-memes

[carmine relic]

Oh god. Imagine if making paintings was a thing

[faint dawn]

Man palia will make great comic strips..

[remote latch]

sweet I can practise my lost art of painting in a game 🙂

[carmine relic]

Or memes hung in someone's home

[potent estuary]

Thanks but I will build Castle for myself and @uncut bear when i will be rich.

[cinder temple]

That could work with dev approval. You'd submit an artwork and within a week or so get approved (or denied) and use it as wall art.

[fallen sun]

🤔 I wonder how much we can change the external aesthetics. Can I live in a gloriously gaudy marble-and-obsidian sky castle like some kind of Marvel villain, or will i have to content myself with a villainous log cottage?

[knotty crown]

this

[remote latch]

you'd probably be limited to the materials the game has to offer

[gritty veldt]

exactly, i want my hut to be a hut

[hidden lynx]

What do ya mean thanks 👀 I'm confused

[gritty veldt]

the more garbage the better

[uncut bear]

I’m confused too

[hidden lynx]

This would be incredibly cool

[potent estuary]

You said " lots of bedrooms to host everyone"

[uncut bear]

How does one have a “villainous log cabin”? Asking for a friend

[cinder temple]

I've played community games that had it in the past. Wait times would vary, but it also allowed you to customize more thoroughly, which was nice.

[hidden lynx]

Everyone who wants to stay and visit? Or anyone in the neighborhood who doesn't want to build a house?

[carmine relic]

Me finding more friends

[hidden lynx]

No I absolutely love that idea! Pop it in suggestions?

[gritty veldt]

me adopting a new interest

[sudden wedge]

will you be able to live like linus from stardew valley? I just want a gross little tent

[hidden lynx]

Probably not to much early on but long term alot - they've said the trailer is just the tip of the iceberg for how we can customize our house

[fallen sun]

You use a regular cottage in the countryside for villainous hobbies like whittling effigies, or spite-knitting

[potent estuary]

I thought maybe you are thinking about hosting all of your guild members sorry my mistake.

[hidden lynx]

You guys aren't required to live with me 🤣🤣🤣

[potent estuary]

:D

[dusk flume]

Ooopa

[hidden lynx]

You're welcome to but not required haha

[faint dawn]

"Spite knitting" heh...

[hidden lynx]

I passed 1500 messages sent 😅 making my way up

[potent estuary]

@uncut bear If we can. Can we build castle or very nice mansion?

[faint dawn]

I think housing is only 1 story right now..

[fallen sun]

Today I'm going to teach you how to crochet a lovely skull cozy using two kinds of yarn and needles in 15/32". These are lovely for keeping the skulls of your enemies warm, and work great for hanging them from your christmas tree

[hidden lynx]

Yeah but I had asked if there were no limits what would you make and where

[uncut bear]

Hmmm a castle sounds awesome

[brittle halo]

a wizard tower perhaps?

[cinder temple]

Done.

[hidden lynx]

Sweet!

[magic mist]

oh wow

[potent estuary]

I hope we can build it.

[gritty veldt]

@carmine relic

[azure rock]

I would like the ability to have a small cafe shop for ramen and baking goods

[deft sonnet]

a wall and a jard

[sudden wedge]

a basement level house with glass walled fish ponds on all sides and a garden on the roof at ground level

[carmine relic]

I have been called for wizard towers

[uncut bear]

This is the way

[hidden lynx]

Okay next fun question! If you earned income by running a shop of some kind what shop would you run and what would it look like? Again if no limits

[dusk flume]

A shop?

[deft sonnet]

a wall and a jard shop

[nimble idol]

This is the way

[faint dawn]

Hmm... i like a good treehouse..

[carmine relic]

Potions and questionable magic tools

[gritty veldt]

rocks, fish

[dusk flume]

I'd be a butcher shop to sell the meats I collect from hunting and fishin

[brittle halo]

I'd be pretty happy with a little cottagecore magic-themed cafe/library

[fallen sun]

Villainous cottage industry goods

[carmine relic]

"Welcome to Gam! Buy something."

[celest maple]

this sounds lovely

[uncut bear]

I think I’ve answered this question enough that I don’t even need to say it

But if I did something other than the tavern I think I’d do a plant shop that is purely decorative

[sudden wedge]

a greenhouse selling plants

[dusk flume]

I see a 90 year old man saying that Gam

[nimble idol]

Got any items?

[hidden lynx]

So I personally would have a bookstore/cafe where the lower floor is a bakery tea shop with lots of tables to just have tea and chat, and the upstairs is a huge book store with lots of reading nooks and comfy places to read and chat!

[gritty veldt]

i would definitely be interested in some questionable magical tools

[faint dawn]

Im likely going to live in a tent for as long as i can. XD

[cinder temple]

A repair shop and art studio. Players could bring their damaged items over for fixing and also fall in love with the weird fish sculpture I've made out of bits and bobs.

[azure rock]

Easily a cafe where people can get food and provisions just outside the neighborhood for all the new adventurers ^-^ oh! and you could also rest in the lil bnb beds I would set up so like a cafe/inn

[hidden lynx]

Yes yes same vibes for me!

[gritty veldt]

mostly i would want to live in a way that wouldn’t need to sell things or have a shop

[brittle halo]

I hear a franchise~

[lilac portal]

I'd love to have a jewelry shop where I can craft items from gems/stones I found exploring

[peak mountain]

Wait players will be able to set up shops that other players can interact with?

[fallen sun]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/163132114408177664/850590436011278336/facebook_1622459092578_6805086661843201816.png

[potent estuary]

I think I want open alchemy shop or cafe.

[peak mountain]

Not just npc shops

[brittle halo]

Y E S

[hidden lynx]

Yes this exactly

[deft sonnet]

or i open up a hostel

[brittle halo]

by the gods I will find a way to obtain a creme brulee dragon

[uncut bear]

Sounds like a plan 👍

[warm star]

Pet store!

[cinder temple]

I haven't heard anything official; I think this is mostly manual selling/roleplay ideas.

[fallen sun]

That image is from a board game kickstarter, incidentally

[next pier]

... i hope i can get a creme brulee dragon...

[peak mountain]

Ah ok

[hidden lynx]

Madd we could run it together! And take turns running the bookstore/cafe back and forth!

[potent estuary]

If we can't open tavern together we can do some business with our shops

[hidden lynx]

No just conversation of hope you have!

[brittle halo]

we gotta, it's too good of an idea to pass up on

[knotty crown]

original artist?

[fallen sun]

uhhh lemme find it again

[hidden lynx]

Well then welcome to my Queendom!!!

[uncut bear]

Even if there isn’t a shop or selling system I’d still trade with people for goods. I’ll probably specialize in something to trade with people

[remote latch]

Yes, wishful thinking that we can integrate ourselves as part of the world .. in another game I had npc tradesman in my store that sold my wares to players while I was elsewhere and offline .. I used to come back and see what needed to be restocked .. fun times.

[potent estuary]

Me too.
